THE BELT

The belt in your power nozzle drives the agitator. It has been designed spe- cifically for use in this cleaner and is important for effective operation. There are other belts manufactured that are similar in shape and size but are not designed for the HOOVER power nozzle. Such belts do not operate the agitator correctly and may create stress which could damage your power nozzle. Use only a genuine HOOVER Belt No. 38528-011 when a belt replacement is necessary.

When to replace the belt on power nozzle

The belt, located under the nozzle cover, should be checked from time to time to be sure it is in good condition.To check remove the nozzle cover (see following section). If the belt is stretched or cut; or if the agitator fails to rotate, replace the belt.

How to replace the belt

Disconnect cleaner from elec- trical outlet and disconnect power nozzle from extension wands.

Turn nozzle over and unscrew the 2 Phillips head screws from the nozzle base.
